Gossip Girl Exclusive: Look Who's Returning!

Desmond Harrington has inked a deal to reprise his role as Chuck’s duplicitous Uncle Jack on Gossip Girl later this season, executive producer Josh Safran confirms to TVLine exclusively.

The Dexter regular made a cameo of sorts in Gossip Girl‘s fall finale when Jack’s voice was heard on the other end of a phone conversation with Liz Hurley’s Diana. This time, he’ll be returning in the flesh — and it sounds like he’ll be sticking around.

“He’ll be back for the last third of the season,” Safran reveals. “When Jack returns, he and Chuck are on good terms. Their story is more of a fun story than an antagonistic story. It’s really twisty and comic. And there might be some secrets that Jack will help Chuck to uncover.”

This is the most exciting news I’ve heard about GG for a long time. I love Jack, especially if he’s working to HELP Chuck and not hurt him. I was thrilled to hear his voice in the midseason finale and just sooo happy he comes back in the flesh sooner rather than later. (Now if only we could get Blair in this story line too, I’d be just perfect)

This is seriously the best GG news I’ve heard in like a year. I adore Desmond, and it sounds like Chuck will actually have a great storyline coming up, aside from just pining over Blair. Don’t get me wrong, I love CB, but I like them to both have separate storylines as well, it keeps the show interesting.

Yayyyyyyyyyy. İ love him so much both desmond and Jack. Yay for scaly uncle coming back for good intentions hahaha. İ love all Bass Men! İ hope they find out something nice for Bart and it will soften Chuck’s heart even more against his father! And i really wish that they do not play with whole Chuck’s parenthood story again pls no! İts so lame! İt was enough that they have made her mom zombie!! Scaly uncle is better story and i hope they dont ruin it! Thx for the scoop! Always welcome desmond and jack bass. Love Chuck and Jack interactions hehe. Ed and Desmond are awesome. İ have enjoyed last season so much! İt was a great turn out-twist and i hope they continue like that! İ am also happy he will stick more than one episode this time and it will be fun yayyyyyyyy! So exited!

Finally something to look forward too! Jack is an awesome character, last season I loved that comedic side he had and previously I loved to hate him. If he isn’t coming back to torture Chucksomemore then I’m happy, although when I see the word fun I think about how Josh Safran thought this season was fun and I am filled with dread.

YAY for the Basstard coming back. Glad he and Chuck are not going to be antagonistic. It was time to move on from that story. I’m happy you guys were able to stop the Ban pimping long enough to talk about someone else’s Gossip Girl storyline for once.
